ABSTRACT

What do the world's top managers have in common? They've learned the secret of effective delegation and how vital it is to their own success. The successful delegator can double or triple his or her productivity. The non-delegator works frantically, grabs lunches, lugs briefcases, is subjective and generally ineffective. The delegator has time for work and personal life, works effectively and views life clearly. The advantages of delegation are quite simple - you are using other people's brains for your gains. As the axiom goes, you’ll be working smarter, not harder. The tips and techniques in this book will help you to: ¢ let go! ¢ give advice without interfering ¢ establish progress reports that keep you informed ¢ manage upward and downward delegation ¢ accomplish more through others.
